Amadeus came close to returning to winning ways when a good second over fences at Chepstow on Friday and has to be respected back over hurdles off a much lower mark today but this may come too soon for him and preference is for Winds Supreme, who gets the vote ahead of Cayman Calypso. The last mentioned is lightly raced over hurdles and has to be of interest first time in a handicap. Colway Ritz has gone up 6lbs for a win in a selling handicap at Catterick last time and has more to do even off his light weight today. Ivana Illyich is improving with each start and is another worthy of a mention along with Howard Johnson's Luthello, who is lightly raced and comes from a yard that is finally having a few winners. The vote though goes to Ferdy Murphy's Winds Supreme, who fell early on at Sedgefield last week but has solid claims on recent form prior to that.
